The Flesh Armament increases in strength along with the user's body, and the Special Characteristic skills that increase with it can be restored through Healing Magic even if they are damaged.
This is the most obvious advantage of the skill! Especially the *Degraded Flesh Armament* that Tang Zheng possesses, although its defensive ability is only half of Tang Zheng's own stats, it breaks through the inability to replace it.
This skill...
In Tang Zheng's hands, it has become a full body armor that can be summoned at any time.
It's just that the defense level is a bit too low.
Tang Zheng originally only regarded this skill as a means of concealing his identity. However, after seeing the Gray Dwarf race possessing four damaged armors with the highest level Rune Script.
An uncontrollable thought suddenly arose in his mind!
What if these four Rune Script were inscribed on his Rune Flesh Armament Full Body Armor? As soon as this idea appeared.
Tang Zheng couldn't help but want to experiment, which led to the situation before him.
Facing this group of dwarven craftsmen who were still a little dazed.
"That's right, everyone, it is to use this armor that can automatically Repair to replace the higher level metal you demand."
Tang Zheng spoke again, his tone serious: "The reason you need higher level metals is simply because ordinary metals cannot withstand the power of the four high level Rune Script."
"And this full body armor on me may not be comparable to the higher level metal you speak of, but it has the ability to automatically Repair."
"Even if the armor is damaged during the inscription process, it can be Repaired to continuously ensure that the armor can withstand the power of the Rune Script."
The so-called "unable to withstand the power" resulting in damage, in Tang Zheng's eyes, is nothing more than a decrease in the durability of the Flesh Armament.
This kind of damage can be easily restored through Healing Magic.
"Is that even possible?"
"How the hell would I know."
"I completely don't understand what this human is thinking."
"Why does it feel a little crazy."
"Hiss, did anyone see how this armor appeared? It's like it appeared out of thin air."
"It can actually Repair, what a magical ability. Shouldn't this human in front of us be a Magic Caster? Why is he wearing armor?"
"..."
Whispers came from the surrounding group of dwarves.
All the dwarven craftsmen were a little dazed, whether it was inscribing the highest level Rune Script, or this completely unconventional method.
Both made this group of craftsmen feel a little overwhelmed.
Wriggle~
A dwarf with three pigtail beards squeezed up from behind, panting as he stared at the full body armor on Tang Zheng, it was Dwarf Gonder.
"You humans always come up with some strange ideas."
Gonder couldn't help but step forward, excitedly blowing his beard, a pair of bright eyes carefully examining the gray armor: "This armor has a metallic luster on the surface, but it's not actually metal, right."
"It's a completely unseen Special Characteristic material, it can actually Repair, it's really a bit beyond imagination, is it Magic?"
After a brief observation.
Gonder suddenly looked up, looking at Tang Zheng's face covered by the helmet: "I think your idea is great!"
As soon as he finished speaking! Gonder turned around and looked at the other dwarven craftsmen around him, excitedly saying: "Are you really planning to let our dwarven technology be lost!"
"Isn't this a great opportunity right in front of us."
"I have always called myself a "Rune Technology Development Expert", although so far there has been no progress, neither shortening the time of demonization, nor increasing production."
"But these are just means, the ultimate goal I pursue is to find technology that is indispensable to *Rune, so that Rune Technology can become a Special Characteristic*, so that it can be completely inherited."
"Now there is such an opportunity in front of us, are you still planning to give up such an opportunity!"
Gonder clenched his fists with both hands, looking at all the dwarves with excited emotions, his rough voice resounded through the mountain wall.
The dwarven craftsmen stared blankly at Gonder.
"Really, we never said we wouldn't do it."
"Gonder! You're too excited."
"..."
Voices came from among the dwarves.
...
The next moment.
A dwarven artisan who looked a bit older walked out from the crowd, past the excited Gonder, and came before Tang Zheng.
"Human sir, there's something I'd like to confirm. Can this armor of yours be taken off?" the dwarven artisan asked.
"No."
Tang Zheng quietly watched this scene and shook his head.
"Then that's a bit troublesome. Even if the material problem is solved, extremely high temperatures will be generated during the inscription process, which is far beyond what ordinary people can withstand."
As the dwarven artisan spoke, he took out a fist-sized ore with redpatterns (patterns/veins).
"This is a metal called Heat Ore. As long as it's struck with a hard object, it will generate high temperatures, which can easily melt steel."
"If it's collided with for a long time, the temperature will be even higher. This is also an important method for our dwarven race to forge weapons."
Since the dwarven race lives underground, they can't use coal, firewood, or similar items to forge metal. The dwarven artisan's meaning was clear: if Tang Zheng wore the armor during the inscription, they would generate extremely high temperatures during the use of Heat Ore, which a human simply couldn't withstand.
"If it's this problem, then you don't need to worry. I have a way to resist high temperatures," Tang Zheng said with a light laugh upon hearing this.
Heat Ore can forge metal, so the generated high temperature is at least above 1500 degrees. If metals like Mithril and Orichalcum are smelted, the generated temperature would probably be even higher.
However! With the ability of Fire Attribute Nullification, such high temperatures have no effect on Tang Zheng at all.
"Then everyone, let's begin together."
The Forging Minister, who was standing to the side, stepped forward at this moment.
All the dwarven artisans looked at each other, and at the same time, they divided into four groups, located in front of Tang Zheng, behind him, and on his left and right sides.
These were the locations where the four high-level Rune Scripts needed to be inscribed!
"Four high-level Rune Scripts need to be inscribed at the same time. There can't be even the slightest mistake during this process."
The Forging Minister spoke loudly, giving instructions and explanations, causing all the dwarven artisans to reveal serious and expectant expressions.
Suddenly! Several dwarven artisans moved at the same time.
Clang!
Bang!
Strange tools simultaneously struck heavily on the Flesh Armament, and the high temperature released by the Heat Ore began to burn the surface of the armor red.
Tang Zheng sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing these dwarven artisans to knock and beat on his body, and took a deep breath.
He didn't know if it would succeed, but facing the Great Tomb of Nazarick that would descend in the future, he had to try all sorts of possibilities.
He glanced at the information of the Flesh Armament:…
Skill: Degraded Flesh Armament Level: Low (11~20)
Durability: 287 Physical Defense: 140 Magic Defense: 147 Effect: None
Introduction: None
…
Rune Scripts don't look complicated on the surface, like strange-looking symbols, but that's just the surface phenomenon.
In fact, each Rune Script contains special and complex Manapatterns (patterns/veins). The higher the level of the script, the more complex and intricate the patterns (patterns/veins).
That's why it takes more time to forge a Rune equipment, rather than simply enchanting it like Demonization Technology.
Days passed, and Tang Zheng sat in the same spot, allowing these dwarven artisans to take turns inscribing Rune Scripts on his body.
Food and drinks had already been prepared in abundance. These dwarven artisans didn't need to worry about food at all, and they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to the exhilarating task of replicating high-level Rune equipment.
Tang Zheng, on the other hand, was much more distressed.
Maintaining a single posture for an extended period was already quite painful, not to mention he needed to constantly monitor the decrease in durability and restore it from time to time.
As for eating, that wasn't a problem.
The full body armor's helmet appeared to be sealed, but the visor could actually be opened. However, to avoid unnecessary actions, Tang Zheng basically only drank some water.
Thankfully, he had already reached the "Aberrant One" level, and his physique had improved significantly, otherwise ordinary people simply couldn't endure it.
This state continued until the tenth day.
Middle Earth Month, November 28th.
Lava Zone.
One after another, the Dwarf artisans lay on the ground, completely exhausted, gasping for breath, yet their faces were filled with excitement.
"We succeeded!"
"This incredible thing was actually accomplished."
"So tired, I want to sleep!"
"..."
The Forging Minister supported himself with his arms, his face flushed and equally exhausted, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the full body armor on Tang Zheng.
"This Greatness, this masterpiece, can actually, appear in this world again." The Forging Minister shouted, both excited and somewhat neurotic.
Clang!
"Finally finished."
Tang Zheng got up and spoke calmly, swinging his arms and legs to stretch his body, the full body armor constantly making "creaking" sounds as it rubbed together.
He had originally held the thought of failure, but he didn't expect it to actually be created. He was indeed a little excited, but not very thrilled.
After ten consecutive days, this feeling of excitement had long faded.
Tang Zheng lowered his head and checked the full body armor transformed by the Flesh Armament. Overall, it hadn't changed much from before, except for four additional Rune Scripts.
They didn't look eye-catching, nor did they have any special energy reactions, but the information of the Flesh Armament had undergone a noticeable change.
...
Skill: Rune Flesh Armament
Level: Lower (11-20)
Durability: 287
Physical Defense: 140
Magic Defense: 147
Effect: Rune Enhancement · Bountiful Blessing - Can absorb similar substances to continuously strengthen and improve.
Introduction: An unexpected product after strengthening with "Rune Technology" and "Degraded Flesh Armament".
...
The values hadn't increased at all, but a "Bountiful Blessing" ability had appeared in the effects.
Tang Zheng's spirit shook.
The description of the effect wasn't much, but it reminded him of the song that the Forging Minister had mentioned before in Despair Valley.
The last two lines of which were: "Armor that devours ore, imbued with the soul of a Gray Dwarf."
"That is the Greatness that Even Ancient Dragons Notice."
The reason that armor was called a failed work was because the ore used to make the armor was very rare.
This resulted in the armor being unable to improve by devouring ore from the moment it was created.
Tang Zheng had speculated at the time that the ability of the four highest-level Rune Scripts to fuse might be related to "absorption" and "strengthening," and now he was even more certain of this.
"'Absorb similar substances' to strengthen."
Tang Zheng muttered these words in his heart, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, the situation was indeed not much different from what he had speculated.
Armor made of special metal needs to absorb similar types of metal, and if it is a material like Flesh Armament, then what is absorbed is naturally the same material as Flesh Armament.
So what is the material of Flesh Armament?
Skin, teeth, nails, and other such substances.
"It'll be good to experiment."
Tang Zheng glanced at the group of exhausted and sleeping Dwarf artisans, and with a flash, he entered the central area of the Lava Zone.
"Since this ability comes from you, then let's use your corpse." With a wave of his hand, the corpse of Forest Sage Hamsuke appeared on the ground.
The scorching temperature immediately caused the fur on the Forest Sage's corpse to curl up, and a faint smell of burning permeated the air.
Tang Zheng stepped forward, raised his palm and pressed it against the corpse of Forest Sage Hamsuke, silently chanting in his heart: "Bountiful Blessing."
Whoosh! The four Rune Scripts on the gray full body armor suddenly flickered with flowing, iridescent light, and then, with the point where Tang Zheng's palm made contact with Forest Sage Hamsuke as the center.
An invisible force was triggered.
Suddenly! The fur on the Forest Sage's body turned into a stream-like substance, and was quickly absorbed by the gray armor, and it wasn't just the fur.
The tail, over 20 meters long, the hard teeth, the meter-long claws, even the bones were absorbed by the gray armor.
In just three breaths.
The corpse of Forest Sage Hamsuke in front of Tang Zheng had turned into a pool of pure flesh and blood, spread on the ground, exuding a bloody aura.
And the original gray color of the full body armor became a little deeper.
He retracted his palm.
Tang Zheng fell into a brief silence, closed his eyes and waited for a few seconds, then reopened them.
"Jungle Acceleration!"
A verdant light flashed across the full body armor.
Tang Zheng's figure moved quickly, flashing back and forth across the empty ground a few times, then, his figure paused: "Tail Strike!"
Whoosh!
With lightning-like speed, a 20-meter-long, arm-thick gray whip shot out from the chest of the full body armor, and struck the air, emitting a muffled thunder-like explosion.
Hiss!
The thick whip vibrated, and a layer of blade-like sharp scales emerged on the surface, cutting the surrounding air and making a hissing sound.
Whoosh—
The 20-meter-long gray whip retracted back into the chest of the Flesh Armament, and disappeared.
This wasn't a whip, it was simply the tail of Forest Sage Hamsuke.
...

Introduction: An unexpected product of strengthening with "Rune Technology" and "Degraded Flesh Armament".
...
The skill information had undergone completely new changes.
Not only had the values increased, but it had even gained these two skills, which were the abilities originally possessed by Forest Sage Hamsuke.
"Is it because of the Flesh Armament's level that I can only choose two skills? It seems I can also erase skills."
"Completely unexpected."
Tang Zheng looked at the Forest Sage, who was now just a pool of flesh and blood on the ground, and then looked at the information on the panel, his face full of astonishment.
